Vagabonds In Power\u003c\/i\u003e was recorded live at the Berlin Jazz Festival in autumn 1978 and released the following year. It is a ferocious and lyrically exalted attack on the abuse of state power. The festival straddled the cusp of the break-up of Afrika 70 and the formation of Egypt 80 in spring 1979, and \u003ci\u003eV.I.P. Vagabonds In Power\u003c\/i\u003e was the last album Fela made with the drummer Tony Allen, who had been with him since 1964 and acted as Afrika 70’s bandleader. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knitting Factory","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50411618140491,"sku":"1080505","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/88793603-0feb-4c95-8d03-d1f337ae9eff_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726660677","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/v-i-p","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
